Bright Spring

Everyone said one after another, "What are you doing, we are fighting!" "I would rather die than beg for mercy from the officers and soldiers!" Villagers, aren't they citizens of the imperial court?"

Many people turned their heads and saw that the densely packed infantry of the officers and soldiers had already stepped on the bodies of the civilians who had been shot to death just now.

More people shouted to fight to the end.Then a military general patted his horse forward and shouted: "Array!"

More than a hundred riders lined up in front of him one after another, readying their knives and guns.Everyone is the remaining remnants of each team. Many of them don't even know who the generals leading them are, but judging from their armor and cloaks, their positions are not low.

"Shua..." The general pulled out the long-handled knife from his back, pointed forward flatly, and the horse's hooves slowly started to move. He said loudly, "Brothers, hurry up, and you can catch up with Commander Wangdu in a while!"

A few laughs came from behind, and everyone shouted, "See you on Huangquan Road!"

"kill!"

More than a hundred riders gradually accelerated, countless horseshoes flew, and dust and sand splashed into the air.The infantry of the officers and soldiers had stopped advancing, and two rows of spears protruded from the gap of the square shield. The spears in the back row were slanted towards the sky, and the entire square formation was like a huge iron hedgehog.

The military commander at the front rushed to the front of a phalanx of the officers and soldiers. There was a loud "bang", and the horse ran straight into the gun shield. The horse hissed miserably, and the front hooves fell to their knees. The man and the horse rushed in. phalanx.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." There was an endless stream of crashing sounds from the horses hitting the shield, and there was a lot of screams from all around.

There was another horse neighing, and a knight's mount was covered in blood from countless cherry spears on all sides. The knight reached out and grabbed the cherry spear that had stabbed into his waist, and the moment he fell, he slashed down with a knife.The spears on all sides were drawn back, and the flesh and blood splashed out, and they were barreled at him again. The knight yelled and swung his knife again, and the weapon flew out of his hand.

The phalanx infantry on the two wings and the rear also shouted and surrounded them. Not far away, a cavalryman fell on his back to the ground, blood was stabbed all over his body, and his face was badly mutilated by a knife.

A large number of cavalry from the village also spread over, and the cavalry in front gradually slowed down. The cavalry looked at the swords and guns waving in the crowded crowd, and the blood mist flying into the air.

At this time, Wang Zhen's department has been completely wiped out, and there is no one left alive.

Chapter 129 Lan 6

In the morning, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu led the troops to Qimei Mountain one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu's vanguard cavalry was greatly improved.

The cavalry of the official army did not dare to rush forward, so they had to hug the infantry formation, and the infantry and cavalry supported each other.Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and ran on the battlefield. Through the drifting gunpowder smoke and dust, he could see Ping An He Fu's large formation, roughly in the shape of a half moon, facing the direction of Meishan.

The cavalry of the Northern Army attacked and plundered for a while, and as soon as they retreated, the formation of the official army began to slowly advance southwest.I saw that on the broad formation, there were swords and guns like a forest, and people and horses like a sea.The mountains, rivers and fields seemed very noisy and lively at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and saw that the high ground on both sides of Qimei Mountain was filled with the flags of the Northern Army.Many highlands such as Longshan and Hushan in the northwest are not clearly visible, but they are also occupied by the Northern Army.

At this time, Ping'an He Fu's official army lacked elite cavalry, unable to fight alone, and could only advance in groups on foot and cavalry, and progress was slow.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't panic, even if he retreated to Mount Qimei, he could still rely on the highlands and valleys to defend for a while; as soon as the main force of the northern army reached the battlefield, he could immediately counterattack and start a battle with the official army!

The situation is favorable to the Northern Army, and while nervous, Zhu Gaoxu secretly rejoices: As long as he wins this battle, there will be no one in Huainan who can stop the Northern Army's advance, and drinking horses along the Yangtze River will not be far away.

"King Gaoyang! King Gaoyang!" A voice came from behind.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and saw that it was the eunuch Zheng He.Zheng He was dressed in armor, his face was broad and round, and his forehead was covered by an iron helmet, making his face appear shorter.He also saw Zhu Gaoxu, so he patted his horse and rushed up.

"King Gaoyang, take a step to speak." Zheng He said calmly.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand to stop the pro-army around him, and together with Zheng He, they rode to the side for a while.

At this time Zheng He said in a deep voice: "Wei Guogong Xu Huizu led the officers and soldiers to the Beijing camp, and suddenly appeared behind our division in the morning!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he couldn't help being surprised... Xu Huizu came by such a coincidence!

Zheng He continued: "The rear army Wang Zhen's troops were completely annihilated! Li Bin's troops went to reinforce and were defeated, and Li Bin himself was beheaded!"

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless after hearing this, and he habitually reached out and rubbed his forehead a few times... This action made him feel very familiar. After losing all his "whitewashing" in his previous life, he remembered the serious consequences caused, and was helpless. He usually rubs his forehead hard.

The action is the same, but the feeling is different.

At this time Zhu Gaoxu hadn't lost yet, but was very disappointed.Because the previous victory hopes were too great, but someone told him that the situation was unfavorable, and his expectations were suddenly in vain. For a while, he felt like he didn't want to face reality.

"Does my father have any new arrangements?" Zhu Gaoxu asked, he let out a breath, and felt that the strength brewing in his body had dissipated a lot.

Zheng He said: "Not yet, our family has been ordered to come here quickly, first to report the military situation."

Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "At the moment, there are two paths in this situation, either continue to fight, or quickly leave the battlefield..."

Zheng He then asked, "What is King Gaoyang's idea?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a moment, he looked at the formation of officers and soldiers in the distance, and listened to the magnificent footsteps and drums, and was silent for a while.

... The situation on the battlefield was ups and downs, but at this time Zhu Gaoxu's inner turmoil was even more ups and downs. It was hard for him to calm down from the violent emotions just now.

Many things are like gambling|gambling, and it is easy for people to get ahead.At the beginning, I realized that it was not good, but I just couldn't swallow that breath, and I had to bear it to the end... But there are often not so many miracles in the world, and if the unfavorable situation continues, the loss will probably be even worse, and there will be no surprises!

However, retreating from the rapids is easier said than done.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, and said: "Wei Guogong's reinforcements are a variable. We didn't consider him at the beginning, and now we are caught off guard... I tend to retreat today, wait a little longer, and find another favorable opportunity to fight again. "

He glanced at Zheng He, and left a few words, "But everything is still for my father to decide, my father is wise and good at fighting, both civil and military, and he will definitely be able to make a more wise decision!

It is not impossible to continue to fight at this time.I, General Qiu and General Zhu, defended the direction of Qimei Mountain and Longhu Mountain; my father and king's main force turned around and dealt with Xu Huizu first, and if we defeated each of them, we would have a chance... But the risk is a bit high. Turning around to attack the enemy army that suddenly appeared, I lost a lot of vigor. "

Zheng He clasped his fists and said, "King Gaoyang is right."

...At this moment, Shuqi arrived at Zhu Gaoxu's banner first, then turned and ran towards this side.The knight in the middle clasped his fists and said, "Military Order of the King of Yan!"

Zhu Gaoxu saw that the knight got off his horse and took out a letter, so he quickly got off his horse and took it with both hands.

He received the military order, unfolded it and looked at the scribbled handwriting written by King Yan on it: Gao Xu, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Neng attacked the pontoon bridge in the north one by one. Our division occupies the north bank (only 1000 people), and we will strive hard. Occupy the South Shore.Our Chinese army came from the north of Mount Qimei, leaving some troops behind the temple of Mount Qimei, and the main army followed and attacked. "

"Father's meaning is similar to what I said just now. We are not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle today, we have to stabilize our position first." Zhu Gaoxu handed the military order to Zheng He.

King Yan's military order is written casually, but the words are somewhat meaningful... The Northern Army was obviously caught off guard by Xu Huizu's reserve army, so they wanted to run away, but there were no words such as fleeing or retreating in the military order, only "attack", The term "attack".

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to take back the King of Yan's military order, put it in his arms, and said, "When Eunuch Zheng returns to the Chinese army, he will first meet with General Qiu and General Zhu to confirm that they have also received the King of Yan's military order."

Zheng He clasped his fists in reply, then kicked his horse and turned around.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said: "It's not too late. Immediately send an order to Wei Da to withdraw from Qimei Mountain as soon as the Chinese army arrives! Order Zhang Wu and Ji'er to follow me to attack the pontoon bridge!"

The two pro-military officers and soldiers beside him said: "Decree!"

Once the army in the back of the hall waits for the army to leave, it must be a disaster!Zhu Gaoxu didn't want Wei Da to stay behind the temple on the mountain, so he issued a special military order.There will always be a general who will be unlucky, but Zhu Gaoxu doesn't want it to be Wei Da... He originally wanted to marry Wei Da, but Xu Wangfei regretted it. He felt a little sorry for Wei Da and didn't want to cheat.

So Zhu Gaoxu took the lead in leading a large group of cavalry to detour to the north.

The cavalry ran for several miles, and Zhu Gaoxu saw a small group of officer cavalry in the south, making a detour to the northeast.He turned around and shouted: "Chen Dachui, lead a team of cavalry, and take down the troops over there!"

"Decree!" Chen Dachui said.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back again, wondering in his heart, Ping An has always been cunning, did that group of people send orders to burn the floating bridge?

He quickly patted his horse to speed up, saw the bank of the Suishui River, and then turned eastward.

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu had already seen a row of pontoon bridges on the river, swaying slightly on the water waves, and there was no fire in the distance, so he was slightly relieved.On the south bank of the pontoon bridge, a tent can be seen in the distance, and two phalanxes were set up facing Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry.
